Geocaching

Springbrook Nature Center permits geocaching within its boundaries. Geocaching is a popular outdoor sporting activity encouraging learning experiences in nature while having fun. To place a geocache at Springbrook, please register using the Springbrook Geocache Registration Form and comply with all the Springbrook Geocaching Rules.

Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game, a game of high-tech hide and seek. Players, or geocachers, hide and seek containers, called geocaches, using Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices and other navigational techniques. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Players often share their experiences online.

Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica. There are over 1.4 million active geocaches published on various websites and over 5 million geocachers worldwide. For more information, please go to www.geocaching.com.
